zeal men throughout the whole

eminent surgeon In Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandaloas. 1t.
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of tho stom--
ach, which had resisted. the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion.
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, q feeling
that has been described as a
faint call gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about,
the teeth, causing q disagree
able taste. This sensation was,
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and lam
guild feeling. Then followed
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings, Finally
the patient was unable to Re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain IN the
abdomen. All prescribed REM
edies falling to give relief. a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justiti-
able. Accordingly, on the I'D
of February, 1889, the opera
ton was performed by Or.
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, Or. Pcrlier, Or.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR., Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open tho cavity
Of the abdomen 3 | exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an oxamin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
q terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died

must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects ola
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
IF this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution (for
this was what the disease really
8 was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roors, or SEroxL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
: efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
Z favor of this dyspeptic remedy

casion to call upon Professor Bischoff,
the distinguished blind organist and
composer, who makes Washington his
home, and found in his office type
writer which gave evidence Of frequent
use. In answer TO question from me
about 1t he replied that 1t was his and
that he used It himself. II have no

has made himself one Of the finest

rare and valuable music and teacher
Of music and organ and plano. He Is
constantly full Of work teaching his
pupils, and has oil the business that he
can possibly attend to. He makes
probably 5000 or more year out of
his musical work. He manages his
own affairs, and he does not rely on
anybody for assistance In getting about
